as I may be able to overcome it
in time, and mean to have a
struggle for it anyhow. A conference
will be held in London next Sunday
the 2nd prox. at which Bro Wells and wife will be present also Elder Osmond
editor of the Star. The London branches
are going for an outing in Eping Forrest
on the 5th of August. All the elders are
invited. I have held eleven meetings
in the open air alone since writing
to you last and at one of them
there were between three and four
hundred people present. Several of
them have ben disturbed by ministers
but they have always got the worst
of it. One of them insisted that it was his
imperative duty to warn the people against
sutch abominable ^doctrines^ but he insisted more
strongly in getting out of the crowd bfore I
got through with him. He acted as if he wanted
to crawl through a not hole in the fence
neare by, he looked so excedingly small-
in the eyes of the people. Well I must say
good-by onece more and hope that
this may find you enjoying good health.
